Other Reviews...
A sleeper of the vintage as well as the finest wine I have yet tasted from this estate. Borie has turned out a graceful, charming, seductive St.-Julien possessing a dense purple color and sweet cassis fruit intermixed with forest floor, spice box, and earth characteristics. This is a beauty to drink over the next decade. Lalande-Borie is made by Ducru Beaucaillou’s proprietor, Bruno Borie.

Offers some berry and cherry character. Light-bodied, with light tannins and a fresh herb and milk chocolate aftertaste. Best after 2009. 15,000 cases made
